Time taken for a message to sent from earth to reach the first astronauts is 140 second.
It takes about three days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. in the course of that time a spacecraft travels at the least 240,000 miles 386,400 km that is the space between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends at the specific path selected.
The distance from earth to moon is approximately3.84*108m
So, the distance from earth to the astronauts is3.84*108m - 10500*103m =3.735*108m
The speed of light c = 2.99792458*108m/s
So, divided the distance from earth to astronauts by the speed off light,
3.735*108m/2.99792458*108m/s ˜1.25seconds
Divided the Pluto-earth distance by speed of light:
Hence, 4.2*1010m/2.99792458*108m/s = 140seconds
